BEQVELING-TOCL.

SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 730,163, dated June 2,1903.

Application filed November 18, 190

To all whom it may concern:

Y Be it known that I, CHARLES ROSECRANS, a citizen of the United States,residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in'Beveling-Tools; and I do hereby declare the apertures formed inleather.

Another object is to construct a tool which will bevel the .edge of anykind of an aperture in leather.

The invention consists in the novel arrangement and construction ofparts, as are hereinafter fully described, illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims appended hereto.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view ofmy improved tool. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the shank,

having the beveling cutting-surfaces formed upon the hooked end thereof.Fig. 3 is a horizontal cross-sectional view of the same.

Like numerals of reference indicate corrcsponding parts in all thefigures of the drawings.

1 designates a suitable handle, and 2 is the shank secured thereto. Thesaid shank 2 has a hooked end 3, and an aperture is formed at the pointof its bend. Bevelingconcaved cutting-surfaces 4, 4 are provided uponthe hooked end. 5 5 are the guiding edges of the hooked end, said edgesforming a gage for the tool. The inner edges'thereof are beveledinwardly toward the aperture formed in the hooked end. A groove isformed upon the hook 3 and also on the shank-2 and terminates in thecutting-surfaces 4 4;. V In operation a uniform beveled edge is obtainedby the use of either of the cutting-sur- 2. SerialNo-IGLQOZ. (NomodeL)faces. It will be seen that the guiding edges will bear against the sideof theleather and will not permit of the cutting-surface sinking intothe same farther than a uniform depth. Therefore the hooked end has agreat advana gage is formed integral therewith, and the be velingconcaved cutting-surfaces which are formed thereon permit of a quick andefficient operation.-

Changes in the form, proportion, and minor details of construction maybe resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any ofthe advantages of the invention Having thus fully described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

l. A device of the character described, comprising a suitable shank, andopposite cutting surfaces thereon spaced apart an equal distance totheir length forming a gage, substantially as described.

2. A device of the character described, comprising a suitable shankhooked or folded at its end upon itself and provided with a concaveaperture in the point of the bend, forming oppositelyarranged cuttingedges ex tending in the same direction, substantially as described.

3. A device of the character described, com= prising a suitable shank,and cutting-surfaces thereon spaced apart a distance equal to theirlength, substantially as described.

4:. A device of the character described, comprising a suitable shank,and a hooked end formed thereon apertured at the point of its bend andbeveled inwardly toward said aperture, substantially as described.

5. A device of the character described, comprising a handle, a shanksecured thereto, a hook formed at its free end, double cuttingsurfacesformed between said cuttingsurgral therewith, substantially asdescribed.

6. Adevice of the character described, comprising a handle, a shanksecured thereto having a hooked end, double cutting-surfaces formed onsaid end, and a guide formed at either side of the cutting-surface,substantially as described.

7. A device of the character described, comprising a handle, ashank'secured thereto faces and thereon, and a gage formed inte-' tage'in forming a tool of this character, for

having a hooked end, opposite cutting-surfaces formed 011 said end, andmeans limiting the cutting capacity of said surfaces formed between andintegral therewith, substantially as described.

8. A device of the character described, comprising a handle, a shanksecured thereto having a hooked end, and opposite concavedcutting-surfaces formed thereon, substantially as described.

9. Adevice of the character described, comprising a suitable shank, ahook formed thereon having a concave aperture at the point of its bend,and grooves upon said hooked end for guiding the cuttingsurfaces formedby the said aperture, substantially as described.

10. A device of the character described,

comprising a suitable shank, a hook formed thereon at its free end andprovided With a concave aperture, said concavity being arrangedtransversely of the shank, substantially as described.

11. A device of the character described, comprising a shank, a hookformed thereon having at the point of its bend an aperture extending inthe direction of the bend, and two grooves formed upon the said hookedend for guiding the cutting-surfaces formed by said aperture,substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of twoWitnesses.
